Mr Handel
Renowned author and Handel-lover, Louis de Bernières joins leading early music ensemble, The Brook Street Band and soprano Nicky Kennedy, to weave a magical tale through this evening's concert. Louis' specially-commissioned prose brings Handel to life in a story of music, passion, rivalry, friendship, struggle, and above all, success.
Programme highlights include Handel's sparkling motet Dum coelestis spirat in aura HWV231, his Sinfonia (B flat Major) HWV339 and music by JS Bach. There are also guest 'appearances' by Handel's mentors, friends and rivals, with Corelli trio sonatas, music from Telemann's Tafelmusik, and vocal fireworks from Handel's adversary, Porpora.
